WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND
(Prologue)
Drip...drip...drip. A young girl winced in pain, her closed eyes tightening shut as she sat up slowly, wiping the water droplets from her face. "Wh-what happened...?" She asked, gently opening her emerald eyes. "Are you ok?" Questioned a rather cheery voice from the darkness around her.
The child slowly rose to her feet, wiping dirt off of her navy blue skirt. She frowned slightly as she reached below her, picking up a pair of dark rimmed circular glasses, that unfortunately now had a crack on the left lens. "I-I think so..." Her eyes scanned her surroundings, picking yellow flower petals from her frizzy red hair. "Where am I...?" She questioned walking forward anxiously, not sure what awaited her in the darkness.
There was silence as she wondered closer to a patch of light just ahead of her. The redhead then came across a small patch of grass just before a crumbled doorframe. Suddenly the voice came again, this time from directly in front of her. "Howdy there! You must be new here!" The voice exclaimed. The child looked around, but nothing could be seen except a single golden on the patch of grass.
The child looked around timidly, rather nervous. "Where is here...? And….who are you mister….?" She whimpered, looking around for the source of the voice.
As she walked towards the golden flower, it started to dance around excitedly. "You're in the underground! I'm Flowey, Flowey the flower! It's super great to meet you!" The small yellow flower said excitedly.
The girl gasped backing up slightly, frightened of the strange creature before her. "U-Underground...?" The red head trembled a bit tilting her head curiously, as the flower nodded. "Don't be scared buddy! I'll help you out, since your new here and all," It said as he winked, smiling warmly at the child.
The girl smiled a bit nervously, gently tugging at the hem of her oversized orange tee shirt. "A-Alright Flowey..." She murmured inching closer to the little golden flower. "My name's Katie...Katie Borden...I'm nine years old..!" The girl beamed happily, feeling a bit more comfortable around the strange creature. "Do you know the way out of here?" Katie asked politely, rocking back and forth on her tennis shoes. Flowey chuckled and gave a slight nod. "I do…but I should probably warn you…there are very scary monsters that would want to hurt you on the way out of here!" Flowey muttered, making a scary face.
The girls green eyes widened a bit in horror. "R-Really?" Katie whimpered, nervously biting her bottom lip. "W-Well how do I get passed them...?"
"Well…I can teach you to protect yourself!" Flowey exclaimed, flexing his leaves giving her a confidant smile. "I just need you to trust me…OK Katie?" The flower smirked a bit. The tiny girl giggled a bit and nodded eagerly, awaiting any "helpful" advice from the flower. "OK Flowey….I trust you…."
